Stanford quarterback Josh Nunes is medically retiring from football, Stanford announced on Monday. Nunes suffered an undisclosed workout-related injury that prevented him from participating in spring practices with the team.

The senior started the first nine games for Stanford before giving way to freshman Kevin Hogan in the final five contests. Nunes led the Cardinals with 1,643 passing yards and 10 TDs. Nunes lifted the 21st-ranked Cardinals over then No. 2 team in the country, USC, 21-14 on September 15, 2012. Nunes rushed for 33 yards while passing for 215 yards and two touchdowns in the contest.

Nunes was the first quarterback since 2008 other than Andrew Luck to start a regular-season game for Stanford.

Virginia Tech’s rumored search for a new offensive coordinator includes Stanford’s Pep Hamilton, according to Bruce Feldman of CBSSports.com. Feldman reports via Twitter that Hamilton is meeting with Virginia Tech on Monday.

Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer has not addressed speculation that Bryan Stinespring no longer will coordinate the Hokies offense in 2013. Stinespring, a long-time target of criticism from Hokies boosters and media, has coordinated Tech’s offense for 11 years and has been on the coaching staff for 20 years. He possibly will remain on the staff as a recruiter and/or offensive line coach.

Hamilton may be the Hokies’ first choice to revamp an often unproductive offense. His stock has risen in his two seasons at Stanford. Hamilton groomed quarterback Andrew Luck — the No. 1 overall pick of the 2012 NFL Draft — and guided the Stanford offense to high national rankings in scoring (No. 6) and total offense (No. 11) in 2012. After losing four key starters in the first two rounds of the 2012 NFL Draft, Hamilton managed to produce enough offense from the Cardinals’ power rushing attack, mixed with play-action passes, for an upset of then No. 1 Oregon and a Rose Bowl berth.

Hearing Stanford OC Pep Hamilton meeting w Va Tech today. It'd be a lateral move but VT may make substantial offer for more $$—

Stanford signed head football coach David Shaw to a long-term extension on Wednesday, the school announced.

Financial terms and the length of the contract were not disclosed.

Shaw, who won the Pac-12 Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season, took over for Jim Harbaugh in January 2011 and has a 22-4 overall record. The Cardinal have won 11 games each of the past three seasons and this season, Stanford won the Pac-12 Conference Championship. Stanford will also be making a third straight appearance in a BCS Bowl.

“David Shaw has led the football program to great success,” Stanford President John Hennessy said. ”He embodies the goal we have for our scholar-athletes–success in the classroom and on the field. We are pleased that he will lead our football program for years to come.”

“I feel blessed to work every day with an outstanding staff and coach the best group of young men in America, and I am excited to lead the Stanford Football program for many years to come,” Shaw said.

Stanford (11-2) will take on Wisconsin (7-5) in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1.

Stanford University has reportedly found their next athletic director.

Jon Wilner of the Mercury News reports that Delaware athletic director Bernard Muir will be hired to the same position at Stanford.

Muir takes the reins of an athletic program that has won the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup 18 of the past 19 years. He replaces Bob Bowlsby, who left in May to become the commissioner of the Big 12.

He will become the seventh AD in Stanford’s history. Muir leaves Delaware after three years as athletic director, a job he took after previously holding the same position at Georgetown.
